Distributed Denial-Of-Service Prevention - Watchguard Firebox X15 User Manual

Distributed denial-of-service prevention

Use the Distributed DoS prevention feature to set limits for server and client traffic. Use the Server Quota
setting to set a maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed incoming through the Firebox from
external computers. Use the Client Quota to set a maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed
out from computers protected by the Edge. If the total number of client or server connections per second
exceeds the connection limit you set, new connection packets are dropped.
